OCEAN STORMS,
Oil as a Subduer of Angry Wa

OH as Subduer of Angry Waves
 Captain Cobb, of the ship Martha Cobb, furnishes this interesting account of the successful of oil at sea while on a trip between New York and Europe: During one of the heavy gales experienced last win ter l had the good fortune to fall in with sinking vessel, the master of which signalled me that The was in sinking condition- boats stove, and asked to be taken off It was blowing heavy gale at the time, with very bad cross sea. I was running under lower maintopsail and reefed foresafF,S the other vessel under reefed foresail alone, hay ing lost his topsail the day before. I had also lost my large boats, had bulwarks washed out and decks swept in that same gale, and the only boat I had left was small, sixteen foot dingy. I was rather pug zled what to do, as l was sure my small boat could not live in the sea that was then run ming. I laid by for some hours, hoping the gale would moderate or the sea subside; but finally, night coming on and no appearance of better weather, 1 decided to make an at- tempt to take the crew from the sinking ves- sel.
 tAll oil-laden ships (the NJ. Cobb was loaded with petroleum), no matter how well the cargo may be slowed, have a certain amount or drainage, WHICH, mixing with the bilge- water, has to be pumped out, and had noticed how smooth the was in the ships wake while we were pumping. I therefore determined to try and utilize it in launching my boat. The usual way of taking crew from wreck at sea is to stand to windward of the wreck, so that your boat may have the advantage of pulling before the wind and sea, and then keep off to leeward to re- ceive your boat. 1 signalled the other vessel to haul to the wind, while I luffed up to windward of him and set my main pumps going; but ] soon found the ship drifted faster than the oil, and while we had con- paratively smooth sea to windward, it had no effect on the to leeward. I ran down across the other vessels stern and hauled up under his lee as near as I dared set the main pumps going again, and at the same time started down the scuppers a fve-gallon can of fish oil which had on board.
 "The effect was magical. In twenty min utes the sea between and around the two ves- sels was quite broken down. The long, heavy swell lemained but the combers and break ing seas were all gone, and my little dingy, with three men, had no difficulty in pulling to windward, making two trips and taking off nearly the whole crew. The other vessel in the meantime had patched up her smallest boat with canvas and brought off her officers and master in safety. I watched the boats carefully, but neither of them shipped any water during their transit, although deeply loaded and the sea breaking fercely Tn all di- rections outside the small charmed spot in which the vessels lay; nor in hoisting them ont or in taking them in did they receive the least damage"

An Age Of Progress.

THIS is an age of progress. The race grows
 | wiser with experience. This is illustrated even in the remedies that people apply for their physi cal ills. We note with pleasure the recent produc- tiop of cough preparation which is founded oa clear common sense It is called Iactart and Honey and may be found in the stock of any live druggist. It contains drugs. It is help to the whole system on this account The combination of a sweet and a sour for throat troubles is as old as civilization. but nothing of this kind has ever been devised as effective as Lactaft an2 Honey.
 Does it pay to dose ourselves with drugs? People when suffering from slight ailments far too apt to dose themselves with powerful drugs, which may stimulate for while, but in the end enfeeble the natural vigor of the system and bring prsnla. ture decay of the vital forces The great merit of the newly introduced Lactart and Honey. which has been found by so many to be wonderfully effective in the of coughs and colds. is that it is LY FREE FROM EnpGs, Hence it's use is spreading rapidly. LacEart (the pure aoid of mlkl and Honey Is preparation that always be safely and prof itahiy used by those afflicted with any form of throat trouble. There drugs in it to work mischief to the system and it is found particularly nice for children, it is agreeable in taste well effective in curative power. Those who have trie it sGY shat aetart and Honey distinctly has the tcail g single trial will demonstrate it's value for all throat diseases.

How to SWeen,

From the Hartford Sunday Globe.
 Sweep with long, steady stroke, taking care to form habit of raising the broom at the end of the stroke in such a way as to prevent dust raising. Watch some women sweep as if they were digging; small cloud of dust will follow the end of the broom every time it is raised. Be careful to go into every corner with the end of your broom and to brush all dust from between carpet or mating and skirting board, as here is where moths love to harbor. Sweep from all sides of the room to the center. This sweeping to the center instead of the door may strike some readers an innovation, but if they will consider moment they will see that there is no reason whatever for dragging the dust all over the room. Sweeping toward the center of a sixteen feet square room, you only sweep the dust eight feet each way, in- stead of carrying it before the broom the whole sixteen feet. Short. quick strokes of the broom are apt to scatter the dust es- peeially when the stroke ends with an up- ward jerk, as I have often seen it do when the broom is in the hands of vigorous girls who imagine they are getting over the ground much more rapidly by hurried movements than they would if they took greater pains. But hurry is not speed; some women are quick and thorough, others slow and thor ough, but the one always huyrying is rarely either quick or thorough; she makes work ali the time she is doing it.

WORCRsTRIs's UNIVERSITY.

"
 The people ot W orcestAr, Massachusetts, are delighted with the idea that they are to have University" there. MT. Jonas Gill man Clark is going to give $1, ,000,0 to start it, and it will be called Clark universi- ty in his honor. The legislature has been asked for an act of incorporation, and eight of the most prominent citizens of Worcester will be, with MT. Clark, members of the board of incorporation. Most of these gen. tlemen are Unitarians
 MT. Clark is very rich man, he has no children, and for about five years he has been engaged in forming his plan. He is reported as saying that during his extensive European travels he has visited nearly all the famous educational institutions of the Old World with the ultimate object in view of establishing in the principal city in his native county an institution of learning which should combine, so far as possible, the best parts of them all He has picked out the site of the new school, which is about mile and half from the center of the city, and has already bought most of the land needed. He does not at once expect to start university complete in all respects, but it will be on the broadest possible basis so far as instruction is concerned. It will not be in any sense denominational There will be religious teaching, but it will be free from any technicalities of belief. There will be, in connection with it, law school, medical school, and possibly school of the- ology. The gift of MT. Clark will consist in the first place of the guarantee of $1 ,000, 900, to be advanced as it is called for by the in- corporators, and the words probably more" in the petition to the legislature mean that MT. Clark, if the citizens offer substantial evidence of sympathy and support, will still its needs become apparent. The gift Is in such form that Mr. Clark's death will make no difference with the plan.
 We congratulate Worcester on having such a citizen as Mir. Clark, and we congratulate him on the possession of the spirit which underlies his munifcent gift. A rich man cannot make 8 better use of his money than to add with it to the existing means for rais- ing the standard of education and culture Nor, perhaps, can he have purer and more enjoyment than to thus spend his money while he is alive. Perhaps a new university is not needed in Massachusetts They already have Harvard, and Yale is near There are those who will think that MT. Clark might have made 8 better use of his money by giving it to either of these uni versailles, and especially to Yale But there is no reason why great school cannot be founded and carried on in Worcester and it is cheering to see rich man ready to start it.

The annual increase of medical men in this country is over 515 per cent, while the an nual increase of the population is less than per cent. Certain statistics of the profes- sion in Illinois show that between the years 1880 and 1886 per cent. of the physicians left the profession and engaged in other pur- suits. It is stated that there are from 800 to 2,O00 more physicians in Illinois than are necessary, and who are earning livelihood legitimately.

 The experience of a lord1y walking delegate with a New York court the other day was instructive. He entered building which was in process of erection in Fourteenth street and began to talk with the workmen. The contractor ordered him to go away, but he refused. Then the contractor obtained 8 policeman and had the walking delegate ar rested. The contractor charged in court that the man was interfering with his busi- ness and had threatened him with boycott. The walking delegate denied these charges, but Justice Smith declined to believe him and fined him S10.
 The spread of the proft-sharing idea is en- couraging The Rice 6 Griffin company, of Worcester, which makes mouldings, sashes, blinds, etc., and employs about 75 hands, has announced to it's employees that the company will pay to those in its employ six months or more during the year, in addition to regular wages, one-half of any net earnings there may be on the years business after reserving six per cent. interest on the capital of the company. Each employe will share in pro portion to his wages for the year. As the net earnings of the company have sometimes been from 13 to 15 per cent. the employees have reason to be pleased with the new play
 The bill introduced by Congressman Bel mont of New York, which is designed to force the Canadian government into dealing more fairly with American fishing vessels, is 'spunky" enough. It empowers the presi- dent to issue 8 proclamation prohibiting British vessels from Canadian ports from en- toying in American ports the rights which are denied to our vessels. It also authorizes the president to prohibit the importation of merchandise by land from Canada, or the entrance upon American soil of cars or loco motives of Canadian railroads and finally, upon proof that the privileges secured by the treaty of May, 1871, are denied as to goods arriving at the ports of British North Ameri- ca, the president may forbid the exercise of the like privileges as to goods arriving in any port of the United States.
 Texas cattle raisers a-e disturbed by the fact that the price they can obtain for their cattle has fallen forty or fifty per cent. within three years.

was learned that he had called at

there. tho tenant considered it best to defer
payment until Mr.. Miles was in more COM

ing man, feet 6 inches tall. OF portly build,
with fresh, ruddy complexion, gray hair, and
full whskers. He wore a suit Of fine dark
clothes and silk hat.
He has carried on the real estate business in
